Going to hell without the sin of greed

Here's a guide of how to get to the nether without useing diamond pickaxe:
Requirements:
-of course space (the portal itself is 5 high, 1 wide and 4 blocks long, but you'll also need som space for the mould)
-1 bucket of water (might need more, if you accidentally but it in the lava)
-10-14 buckets of lava (you don't need 14 buckets of course, but the more bucket you have, the faster you can build it)
-1 flint & steel
-some inflamable blocks (dirt / cobblestone, etc.) to make the pattern
Step 1:
Find some lava (wether on surface or underground), if you're careful enough, 10-14 buckets of lava will be enough (at this guide, I used 14 buckets of lava)
Step 2:
Build a pattern like it's shown in the picture (also build a wall one level above, to prevent the water (that will turn our lava into obsidian) to flow out, and turn our lava source into obsidia, ruining our attempt to build the portal), fill in the bottom line (1x4) with lava (full lava source, not flowing lava) as it's shown in the picture:
Step 3:
Put the water above the lava (not into, because it will cause the water to vanish), then pick it back again when all the 4 lava blocks turned into obsidian:
Step 4:
Build the next patter (replaceing the wall that was preventing the water of escapeing)
Fill the two holes with lava, build the wall again one level above for the mentioned reason, put the water above them, and take back again.
do Step 4 three times, untill you reach this stage:
Step 5:
Build the patter of the upper level, wich will be 1x4 again.
Also place two blocks between the two highest obsidian blocks.
Fill the pattern with lava, build the wall one level higher, put the water abowe it, the when it's ready, get it back.
(sorry for not makeing picture here, but I think you can figure it out by now, that how it works :))
Step 6:
Clear off all the materials used to make the mould, and light your portal on fire!
Step 7:
Enjoy the almost priceless Netherrack, Glowstone & Soulsand, and make lots of nice BTW stuff :D
P.S.: Sorry for the rather rough and boreing composition, this is the very first time I'm doing such thing, but hopefully, I'll learn to make a video soon.
